FLASHBACKS:
The Joyeux Music International Competition for Pianists 2025 concluded with a spectacular Gala Prize Winners’ Concert on 14 September at the Alliance Française Theatre. Jury members present include: EunYoung Lee, Christine Octaviani and Dr Jipson Quah.
The evening was marked by innovation and artistry, featuring personalized screen presentations for every pianist. The Yamaha D7 grand piano, generously provided by Yamaha Music, took centre stage both as a solo instrument and in ensemble collaborations.
Presented by Josephine Koh, the concert showcased a seamless production with video works by Maggiore Productions and photography by Mount Studio. Adding to its international flair, the stage welcomed outstanding foreign performers: vocalist Alice Cahya Putri, pianists Belinda, Digna, and Ayanna Madeline who travelled from Indonesia, and Ng Joe Hynn, Gold Medalist and Liszt Award winner, who came from Malaysia.
The standard of performance was exceptionally high, with two pianists who have qualified into the National Piano and Violin Competition 2025. Each soloist offered a distinctive interpretation. While Alice captivated the audience with her powerful vocal renditions, the performance of Schubert’s Fantasie in F minor by Belinda and Digna was particularly moving, matched by the vibrant spirit of the young piano chamber group, whose string players incorporated subtle choreography into their performance.
The audience responded with warm enthusiasm throughout the evening, culminating in a celebratory prize-giving ceremony that brought the festival to a memorable close.
